In II Corinthians 10:5: We read of "overthrowing arrogant opinions and every defence that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God." We read of "carrying off into captivity every thought to bring it into subjection to Messiah".
Our objective is to reach that place where we do all our thinking in prayer. We seek the place in our spiritual journey where we "pray without ceasing," I Thess. 5:17. It is only in this place of our spiritual development that we will be able to fulfill the Great Assignment.
In order to accomplish this we must pray always according to the will of God. I John 5:14: "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us." This is not talking about knowing the details of God's will for every step of our private lives ahead of time before we make requests of Him. It is talking about praying according to the knowledge of the Good News of Israel and Her Messiah, the plan of redemption for the world, which He has revealed in Israel.
It is only through maturing in the faith that God has provided eternal redemption for Israel, and thereby for all the world, in Yehoshua the Messiah of Israel can we enter into that place where we do all our thinking in prayer.
In Matthew 10:1 we read: "Yehoshua called his twelve students to him and gave them authority to drive out evil forces and to heal every disease and sickness." This is the introduction in the education and training of Yehoshua's twelve talmudim to the Great Assignment that he would give to them. Paul's statement cited from II Corinthians 10:5 can be linked directly to this teaching.
